What I'd recommend doing is building in a setTimeout() delay that would only
fire off the event if the user pauses typing--that way you're not trying to
fire it off for every keystroke.
As for stop the each(), if you do a return true/false inside the callback
function, it should stop execution of the loop.
This means you can add a condition to the loop based on a global variable to
determine if you should stop the loop. So, something like the following
would work:
$(".Name").each(
function (){
// provided lastTbxValue is a global value that's updated
each
// time the value changes, this should stop the loop
if( tbxValue != lastTbxValue ) return false;
// create a pointer to the current table cell
var oCell = $(this);
// hide the parent
oCell.parent().[oCell.text().indexOf(tbxValue) > -1 ? "show"
: "hide"]();
}
);
